On the laptop where I had previously attempted to use CUPS (via Fluppy 013 with the P1006 printer) I ran the new PET.

I then tried a Test Print and did not get the error, it displayed that it was printing, then that disappeared and reappeared in the list of completed print jobs - the problem is - the printer never responded at all.

I power-cycled the printer in case there was debris in the buffer, no joy.

I rebooted and tried again, same result.

I then applied the PET to my Netbook, on which CUPS had not previously been used.

My slight uncertainty is that I have one of the several PC's here still on dpup (haven't gotten around to upgrade it) and that could have been where the P1006 worked then stopped working - but I am pretty sure I recall thanking Jemimah for Fluppy and a working CUPS with the P1006.

I have a couple projects to attend to this morning - then will either try to find my post in the archives where I described it working then breaking - or will look for 4.SFS and try it (since 02 and 3 didn't work). Was there an initial un-numbered SFS?_________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

It's not a matter of restarting CUPS. You need to restart the printer - or at least unplug and replug its USB cable. This is how Puppy rediscovers the printer and then downloads the required firmware file into the printer's memory.

OK, that's good to know.

The instruction in the PET were not quite as clear as you have now made it.

I use Fluppy 13 on my Acer D250
and it fails to get Analog clock or any of them to show up on the screen when I make use of theme "Love" on background?

What could I be doing wrong? Sure I should test with other backgrounds.
I go do it now.

Edit that did not do it. It says one should use Rox Desktop and that is what I have that was what was set up as default it seems. But Okay I reboot and maybe that is needed._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
